Petitioner states that due to a commitment to his
business, he felt that he could not continue in the Naval
Reserve. Therefore, he requested an honorary retirement with the
intent of returning to a drilling status at a later date to earn
retirement with eligibility for retired pay at age 60.
that he was improperly advised at the time that such action would

CONCLUSION:

Further, he needed only one more qualifying year

Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants favorable
action.
The Board notes that Petitioner was in good standing in
the Naval Reserve at the time of his retirement in 1986 and would
have been retained in the Individual Ready Reserve if he had
requested it.
to attain eligibility for retired pay at age 60 and in his one
non-qualifying year, he was only eight points short of the
requisite 50 points.
It was clear to the Board that he did not
understand his situation and he should have been properly advised
of his options before his-request for retirement was approved.
Given the circumstances,
the Board believes that Petitioner is
not eligible to return to the IRR and no useful purpose would be
served by such action.
Therefore, the Board concludes that the
record should be corrected by transferring eight retirement
points from the anniversary year ending 13 June 1974 into the
